The IAPG – International Association for Promoting Geoethics – is proud to co-sponsor and contribute to two major events this September. These occasions represent important milestones for the geoscience community and provide platforms to address sustainability, ethics, and the future of raw materials and engineering geology.

We invite contributions that critically reflect on how geoethics and social geosciences can inform and improve the practice, governance, and societal impact of geosciences in Africa.

Workshop "Developing Geoethical Judgment: Cases That Could Happen to Us – What to Do?", organized by IAPG-Chile/Geoethics Specialist Group of the Geological Society of Chile (SGCh).
